Mr. Juddasked the Secretary of State for Employment how many people have sought posts through the Professional and Executive Register of the Department of Employment in each of the past six months; how many people have been placed in suitable vacancies in each of the same months; and what is the average waiting time per applicant.
§ Mr. Dudley SmithStatistics by my Department's Professional and Executive Register are complied only at quarterly intervals.

The numbers of registrations in these two quarters were 22,164 and 23,552 respectively; the numbers of placings were 3,278 and 3,353 respectively. I regret that information is not available about the average waiting time per applicant.
